how worried are you about the potential of an air cand it's quite worrisome because I'm here and how will I get back a little F walk I wouldn't mind an extended stay but it'll be a little bit too uh costly I think well we're not focusing on worrying about it uh and I hope uh it uh plays to the form of uh getting close to the brink and then settling um you know uh because it matters to a lot of people so how much do you travel for work I travel every single week for work I could be anywhere across North America and so how much potential is there for the Air Canada strike to impact your job well given that I fly out every Monday and come back home every Friday it would stop me in my tracks I'm pretty worried because I'm here for one conference and I'm flying on the 16th to another conference and I feel that I might get trapped in one place or the other so did it make you a little reticent to make this strip did you consider cancelling no I looked at the options and it was either um rebook outside the dates that I had to travel or just test your luck so I'm testing my luck my particular trip there's one other flight I could potentially get but it's literally quadruple of the cost so I'm not super looking forward to going down that Avenue but I mean if something I have to do is there something I have to do
